Until they finished the programme, then get offered double the money in London. | |

You'd need to more than double my money to get me to London! Believe it or not not everybody wants to live and work in or around London. | |

Exactly. I would rather be home before 6pm every night rather than live in London or commute from it. There is a distinct lack of IT knowledge in EA and from my dealings with GK before I know that they have really struggled to get people in before. | | | |

Yes, but you are in the minority. Whilst London isn't for me at my time of life I can see why someone embarking on a career would prefer London to Ipswich. | |

I'm in the minority? I very much doubt that. So you're saying more than 50% of the population would want to live and work in London? | |

Pretty much all East Anglian companies have this problem. London is the dark star of the economy and drags everyone within a couple hours commute into it. | |

No I'm saying younger people would prefer to be in a buzzing capital as opposed to sleepy old Ipswich. In a previous life I used to be in IT recruitment and trying to find .Net Devs, Java Devs, C# Devs etc for companies in Ipswich was nigh on impossible. | |

Okay, but I don't live in Ipswich. I think you'll find .net and C# developers weren't just in short supply around Ipswich... It was a lot further and wider than that. There is still a shortage of IT skills across the country as a whole not specifically linked to East Anglia. | |

That particular set of skills is in short supply, but I used to find it a hell of a lot easier recruiting for companies in and around London and the M4 Corridor. | |

Greene King job on 19:08 - Jul 25 by EastTownBlue | The company appears to be doing very well. Just don't ask the real ale sorts for their opinions of Greene King .... |
nothing wrong with the beer they make at all, its their tied pubs side of the business where they are utterly ruthless and extracting every penny of profit out of a pub at the expense usually of the people trying to run it for them...and then people wonder why GK pubs can be such soulless places. | | | |

Not just the tied pubs. Their managed houses are run at a complete shoestring, wage budgets are so tight that everybody ends up working stupid hours, understaffed. | |
